Over a decade in this business and I have tried/worked with a lot of different designers. So paying more is not always the best, nor is a lancer site paying at the end always the best. There is no standard, or 'best'. I have even had some highly recommended who fell into the 'classics' (i.e. excuses).
Experience has shown paying, any new designer, a big chunk of money upfront is a mistake.
As I said earlier in the thread, I am sure there are a few clients who do not pay, or dangle a carrot for completion of work, or some other shit. But the flip side of designers blowing deadlines by a mile, or not completing work to specifications, etc. far outweighs those couple of clients who chase around.
Many more designers flake then clients not pay.
